UNSPSC 80111602: Temporary marketing staff needs

UNSPSC 80111602 Temporary marketing staff needs, a Commodity code, covers temporary staffing services across diverse operational and professional roles that state and local government entities procure on an as-needed basis. State and local buying under this code spans general-purpose temporary personnel (administrative, clerical, labor, maintenance, skilled trades), specialized temporary staffing (emergency medical technicians, speech-language pathologists, kitchen personnel, event staff), and staffing management services including recruitment, payroll administration, background checks, and employer-of-record functions. Recent opportunities show state and local governments using this code to fill critical workforce gaps when permanent hiring cannot keep pace with demand, to manage seasonal or project-based work, and to augment operations across departments during staff absences, emergencies, or capacity constraints.

The mix of issuing bodies includes state agencies (Texas, Mississippi, Colorado, District of Columbia, Illinois, Oregon, Nevada), county governments (Denton County, Harris County, Broward County, Boulder County), cities (St. Petersburg, Alexandria, Dallas, Phoenix), school districts and education systems (Hillsborough County Public Schools, Richardson ISD, City Colleges of Chicago, Collin County Community College), universities (Texas Tech, University of Texas M.D. Anderson), transit and workforce authorities (Greater Louisville Workforce Development Board), and special-purpose districts (Orlando Utilities Commission). Hillsborough County Public Schools and the District of Columbia appear in multiple recent postings, suggesting repeat procurement activity. The City of St. Petersburg (RFP 26281, October 29 response deadline) solicited temporary staffing across 25 position categories including labor, clerical, maintenance, skilled trades, security, and event support, with the incumbent vendor Personnel Solutions Plus LLC holding current rates from $19.32 to $99.52 per hour. Hillsborough County Public Schools (RFP 24127-RFP-DST, March 23, 2026 response deadline) sought approximately 100 speech-language pathologist and 2 speech-language pathology assistant short and long-term assignments with an estimated annual budget of approximately $11.6 million. Denton County (RFP 262919, October 22 response deadline) requested temporary and payroll services on an as-needed basis across four categories with primary and secondary vendor awards. The Orlando Utilities Commission (RFP 25-PR-8968, April 13 response deadline) solicited management services for staff augmentation including administrative, professional, IT, skilled trade, and direct-hire functions. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Florida, Colorado, and other populous states with distributed demand; smaller jurisdictions and special districts also participate. Recent opportunities are actively posted through October 2026, with response deadlines ranging from immediate to early 2027. Cooperative purchasing vehicles (NASPO ValuePoint, Texas SMART BUY, HGAC) appear frequently, enabling state agencies and local entities to procure temporary staffing without individual RFPs. Evaluation commonly weights cost (35–45 points), qualifications and experience (25–40 points), and responsiveness; insurance requirements typically include workers' compensation and commercial general liability of $1 million to $2 million per occurrence. Set-asides and preferences are not standardized; participation by SBE, MBE, WBE, and VBE vendors is often voluntary and encouraged rather than mandated.
